I won't tell you what you want to hear because that's not advice it's just fooling yourself. I try to help in whatever way I can I try not to judge and try to relate to a situation if I can. :) If you don't like honesty then you won't like my advice.

Well i am seventeen and i ALWAYS get stuff like:" "you look so young to drive" or "re you fourteen?!"
I know this is a good thing when you are older, but as a teen, it SUCKS. i want people to see me as a seventeen year old.
I drive, i am mature, i am nice. I love fashion, and i am always one of the best dressed.But the problems are: i am 5"4 and really skinny and petite so people see me way younger. And worst of all... i have NO boobs. They aren't growing! I have already talked to the doctor and its all "dont worry the time will come" and stuff like that. but for the meantime, what can i try to look older?

Hey there :)
Okay well you already have half the battle down in dressing well and having an interest in fashion.
I'm 17 myself and not that much taller then you im about 5'5 or 5'6.
Im not sure if you already do this but wearing some cute heels with some skinny jeans can do wonders! it really transforms an outfit and its still casual plus making you look older and more sophisticated.
As for your boobs there are things you can do about that, Buy a push up padded bra for the mean time if you are that conscious about them :)
Make up is another issue. Don't cake it. That will just make you look like you are younger trying to be older. Less Is more. Make sure you're foundation matches your skin tone and is not orange. Go for soft neutral colours like nudes golds browns smokey shades that with open out your eyes.
Unfortunately there isn't much you can do only experiment with different styles and make up until you achieve the older look you desire.
Mess around with your hair look up different hairstyles play around see what suits you and makes you look older
Thats really All I can say I hope it helped some how :)
Good luck
Jess 17/f
